hippie's mycro mix bags

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with hippie3's mycro mix bags. I know that for the most part a cube is a cube, but do any strains do exceptionally well in an invitro grow?

The other thing I was wondering was how many cc's of MS should I use per bag? My guess was that 2-3cc's would be good.

my first grow failed, and I was thinking about trying again when I'm able. I'm interested in hippie's myco bags with ports.

With these, all you really have to do is inoculate and wait?

My favorite Mycrotopia substrate, and I always go with the ports.

So you've used them? How many cc's of MS would you suggest per bag? Do you fruit in the bags or use them as spawn?

try b+ and like 1.5 cc - if you using multispore it could be even less i would think.

it depends on which bags you are talking about.... it does seem though that you could use any mycelium to spawn a bulk sub [if you know what you are doing]

jordan86 - with the mycromix bags you would need to inoculate and incubate (~80f) and wait... then for the best results you would want to introduce light and lower temp (~72f) - so your assumption is basically correct -

agreed with the b+ that one seems to do well invitro, also z strain is good, very aggresive.

I don't see an answer in this thread to your question about whether these bags can be used to fruit in. Can they be used for invitro/neglect tek just like the 1/2 pints? If so, which bags specifically, and do they need to be treated any differently than the jars?

Thanks for any replies!

The two posts above yours Hobbit Girl talk about Invitro in the bags.

The MycroMix formula will be the best substrate for invitro in the bags.

And yes, treat them like you'd treat the jars.

Thanks, but I thought they were talking about the sandbags, which I understand require intro and mixing of spawn, and an oscillating fan. Sorry, not to be redundant, but do you mean that these mycobags can simply be inolculated, exposed to light, kept at right temp until harvesting invitro, then returned to bags for repeated flushes with dunks when necessary?

I'm seriously considering buying some of those mycobags. Do they usually yield a pretty decent amount per bag?

correct.
now the sandbags are different,
meant as bulk substrate for your spawn .

can't guaranty any yield as too many variables
but the potential is there for large yields
if you have skill and good genetics

Thanks very much for clarifying, Hippie. May I ask, which one performs better with your neglect tek? You mentioned multiple variables and skill levels in your other response, so am I correct in thinking the jars may be safer for a Newbie?

[~Hippie3]

correct.

Yeah if your a noob id recommend hips half pint jars.
Ive used His jars in the past and they grew real good
colonized fast and fruited nice size fruits.
So then got some micro mix bags which was even better,
cause just as fast but with way more mix than jars.
Now though im using his supercake mix bags,
and I must say there damn amazing.
The growth took off almost right away and colonized in about 2.5 weeks.
I ended up waiting another 2 for pins or something like that
but thats off 1cc per bag so i could imagine
with more than that how fast they would go.
With the bags though going invitro
I would imagine most all cube strains would work good
being that the fruits would have plenty of room to grow.
Not all cramped like in jars.
Also I have a batch of his pancakes going right now,
and they are kicking ass havent checked in a couple days
so there prob done by now.
Anyways just trying to say
If your gonna buy premixed subs
and pretty much everything involved
go through Hippie3

Got it. Thanks for the advice. I've already ordered some jars, and was just wondering whether to hedge my bets on the first grow by adding some mycobags. Theoretically as you've suggested, there would be more room to grow. I'll take Hip's advice though that the jars are safer and wait until later to experiment.

In the beginning, it sometimes feels like you are staring into the face of great unknown ...

The remedy for this uncertainty is to get a batch of basic Jars going, and watch them go through all of the stages first hand.

After a few weeks, your confidence level just rockets up with the practical experience you'll have gotten under your belt - you'll be able to identify & call mycelium from 2 yards away, have a feel for what is too wet/too dry - all sorts of good useful things become second nature so very quickly.

If you are full of enthusiasm and impatience - go ahead & place that order but my advice from my own experience is don't branch out until you've got your very own 100% colonised jar.

Just my 2 cents worth of experience ... just been through this in the past 6 weeks myself.
